Tiny bacteria, big impact: could vaginal microbes determine surgical success?
NCT ID NCT02890498
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether the types of bacteria living in the vagina influence how well women recover after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse using a vaginal mesh. Researchers will analyze stored samples from 41 women who had this surgery, comparing those who had complications with those who did not. The goal is to see if certain bacterial patterns are linked to better or worse outcomes, which could one day help personalize surgical care.
